    Balter XPA clone assistance.

    @Bob_Loblaw I'd be keen to hear how this went also, from a hop perspective at least. For the malt bill, I've been working with 10% wheat, 45% ale and 45% Vienna. It may be a little light, I haven't compared the two though. I'll probably try something like this in the near future Recipe...

    Dry Hop Temperature - Different Flavours?

    I was controlling the temperature with my fridge, specifically aiming to dry hop and 14c over the usual 18c (ferment temp) to see how it came out.

    Dry Hop Temperature - Different Flavours?

    All 3 were fermented at 18c (and us-05 yeast too), I dry hopped them all at the same point, about 8 days into the ferment which was when the gravity had settled. The only difference was the number of days and the temperature of the dry hop. Thanks NOTE: I actually preferred the peach flavours...

    Dry Hop Temperature - Different Flavours?

    This year, I have re-discovered Citra. I hadn't used it for a few years, I'm now on the Citra bandwagon again. Over the last 3 months, I have made 3 beers which have been mostly Citra (whirlpool and dry hop mostly, nothing boiled for more than 10 mins anyway). The first 2 beers I dry hopped fo...

    Any Beersmith Experts? I Need Some Help Please?

    I would have thought the Brewie people would have a profile you could use as a guide? Help get you started anyway, something you could use as a base then fine tune as needed?

    GIVEAWAY AGAIN INKBIRD IBT-2X cooking digital thermometer

    Would love this, count me in. :) Side question: Do you have a product that can be used as a charcoal pit controller? Something with a fan adapter to maintain low n slow kamado cooking? I had a nightmare of a time maintaining temps over the weekend for my pork shoulder so I have started looking...

    Thanks, good to get confirmation from someone who is using a cheap android phone. The zte zip 4g is on special at coles tomorrow onwards for $49 so I think I'll grab one. Seems my issue is related to using the google nexus 4. The tilt developer sent me some information showing many others...

    Do you know the phone you are using here? I am wondering if my issues are to do with an old nexus 4. I may have to pop out and buy a cheap phone instead.

    Im 3 days into my first brew with the tilt. I'm finding the bluetooth drops out every 30 or so mins. If I turn bluetooth off and on again it will re-pickup. I'm in contact with the developers at the moment about this issue. If we come up with a solution I will report back. I'm not at cold...

    I ended up taking the battery out then replacing it again. Re-calibrated it in water and now I have a green flashing light. Maybe it got bumped or something in the delivery process causing the red flash. I think I'll head out and grab some more batteries from jaycar today before using it for...

    My tilt arrived this morning, opened it up. Its flashing red on waking it up, I guess the battery is dead going by the FAQs on their website. A little disappointing. Maybe they should ship the battery out of the device.

    Ahh yeah, that's probably the delay. Waiting on customs. I wish they would show this on the tracking though. I'm always so impatient waiting for new toys :)

    I ordered one of these a few weeks ago, it left the US quite quickly, arrived and again departed Sydney last Friday. Nothing more since then on the tracking. Did anyone else who ordered one of these experience something similar with USPS or should I follow up to see what has happened? 3 days...
